This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg62*) in the RDH12 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in RDH12 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17964524, 22065924, 32014858, 34001834). This variant is present in population databases (rs104894471, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive Leber congenital amaurosis or retinitis pigmentosa (PMID: 15258582, 15322982, 26497376, 29186038). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2050). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Observed in 4/24,014 (0.017%) alleles from individuals of African background and in 13/277,094 (0.005%) global alleles, in large population cohorts and no individuals were reported to be homozygous (Lek et al., 2016); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32865313, 31054281, 30134391, 29186038, 15258582, 29068479, 15322982, 26497376) -

The heterozygous p.Arg62Ter variant in RDH12 was identified by our study in 1 individual with Leber congenital amaurosis, in a compound heterozygous state with a likely pathogenic variant. Please note that this variant has been identified by a collaborative research study and was also be submitted by Massachusetts Eye and Ear. The p.Arg62Ter variant has been reported in at least 10 individuals with Leber congenital amaurosis (PMID: 15322982,15258582, 29186038, 32014858, 26497376, 30134391). The presence of this variant in at least 2 homozygotes, and in combination with a reported pathogenic variant, and in at least 1 individual with Leber congenital amaurosis increases the likelihood that the p.Arg62Ter variant is pathogenic (PMID: 15258582, 26497376, 30134391) and has been identified in 0.016% (4/24952) of African, 0.009% (11/129094) of European (Non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs104894471). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar as pathogenic by Mendellics, Invitae, OMIM, Ocular Genomics Institute, Massachusetts Eye and Ear, Blueprint Genetics (VariationID: 2050). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 62, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the RDH12 gene is a moderately established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive Leber congenital amaurosis. The p.Arg62Ter variant is located in a region of RDH12 that is essential to protein folding and stability, suggesting that this variant is in a functional domain and slightly supports pathogenicity (PMID: 32014858). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Leber congenital amaurosis in an autosomal recessive manner based on the predicted loss of function effect of this variant and the presence of this variant in the homozygous state and in combination with other pathogenic variants in affected individuals. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1_strong, PM1_supporting, PM3_strong (Richards 2015). -
Variant summary: RRDH12 c.184C>T (p.Arg62X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.6e-05 in 251424 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in RDH12 causing Leber Congenital Amaurosis (5.6e-05 vs 0.0016), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.184C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Leber Congenital Amaurosis, Retinitis pigmentosa or Inherited retinal disease (Jin_2022, Lin_2024). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 35006499, 38219857). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2050). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
